The next morning eventually came to Jisung's dismay. He had black mark under his eyes as he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did and Kevin just disappeared last night without telling him where he went.
He only received a text this morning that Kevin had an emergency last night. Jisung dropped his phone and sighed.
He wished his parents come earlier than Hyunjin or he will really perish. Hyunjin probably left to let him think about it thoroughly but what was there to think about?
About how weird everything was getting? Jisung was confused beyond any words.
Here's some questions he couldn't answer:
"Hyunjin loves me?"
"Then why didn't he say so?"
"Then why did he go after Na-Eun?"
"Why did he tell Na-Eun he would leave me?"
"I mean...would you want to leave the person you love for a girl?"
"Why did he suddenly come?"
"Why confess now?"
"And LOVE?! Not like?!?!"
Well, and so on. He kept asking himself but he wouldn't get any answer. He could only get it from Hyunjin but he admitted himself that he was a coward and meeting Hyunjin, talking about this topic would so embarrassing. Jisung couldn't just go, "since when do you love me?"
On the top of that, he had never seen Hyunjin as more than a guy friend. He hadn't even think of the possibilities of a guy and guy relationship. He knew of the existence of LGBT community but he had never really take interest in it.
But the biggest question was, "then what am I supposed to do if he like- loves me?!", In the end, the one who bore a feeling was Hyunjin not him. He was sure he liked Na-Eun even if he didn't even know his own sexuality. "Wait, do I still like Na-Eun?", Now that he came to this, he hadn't really talk or think about her. She texted him to ask if he was recovering but Jisung didn't feel anything. "Wait..why did she only text me? If she's not dating Hyunjin, there's no reason not to come to visit me" , Jisung held his chin and thought again.
He shut his eyes and rolled it. "Ah, why am I even trying. I don't have enough brain cells to think", he only had one brain cell which pushed him to do stupid ideas.
"This is not what I should be worried about!", he bit his finger nervously. It was a race against time. He wished his parents come sooner. He was getting impatient, he dialed his mother's number and called her.
"Mom...when are you coming?", He was relieved when she picked her phone up. His mother hummed with a tone of confusion. "I'm not picking you up"
Jisung raised an eyebrow, "huh?"
He came up with more possibilities in his mind, ah, dad is probably picking me up or any staff from the restaurant.
"Hyunjin is coming to pick you up", Jisung ended the call and dialed his mother's phone back. "Why did you end the phone call?!" She yelled at him. He pulled his head away from the phone. "I thought the signal wasn't good. I heard you wrong, so I called back"
"Ah, is that so? Anyway, get ready. Hyunjin is picking you up by 8", who did she say will pick me up? At 8? What time is it now? 7:12...?!?!?!
"I'm ending the call. Your father is baking something again. I better stop him before he destroy the whole kitchen. Bye— tut tut tut", Jisung stared at the phone for a long minute before he scurried off the bed, struggling to stand up with the crutches he had. He opened the bag his mother brought the day before and immediately change. There was no time to shower and he couldn't shower without Felix's help anyway.
If you're thinking he's running away, then you're dead right.
Jisung forgot one thing though, Hyunjin had been his friends for 8 years. He knew how Jisung thinks. He came earlier than be planned. He was already at the entrance when Jisung ran out of his room. He wore a cap to hide his head and dodged everyone he came in contact with. When he arrived at the entrance, he saw Hyunjin walking in while looking at his phone and immediately hid behind a pillar.
He was watched as Hyunjin walked passed by him before running to the entrance where Chan was standing at. "Right, he can't drive. So, he bring Chan hyung", Jisung cursed and turned around. How do he escape in this kind of situation?
Chan suddenly turned around, caught by surprise Jisung lost his sense of balance and almost fell when his back collided with someone, he could feel his heart pounding every second, the sound drumming in his ears when he looked up, his mouth agaped. "Where were you going?" The question wasn't registered in Jisung's mind. He just stood there, perplexed in this awkward position, looking at Hyunjin with craned neck, eyes blinking as his brows were knitted in a frown.
Jisung widened his eyes before he pushed himself off Hyunjin. He pretended to dust diets off himself, coughing akwardly. "Oh, you're here."
"You weren't thinking of running away weren't you?", Crap, how did he knows? Jisung fakes a smile, slapping Hyunjin's shoulder. "Pfft, why would I do that?", Hyunjin raised an eyebrow, looking at Jisung's patting hand on his shoulder. Jisung immediately pulled his hand away, "maybe I shouldn't have done that.." he whispered. He wouldn't suddenly like me more just because I pat him a bit, would he?
Hyunjin sighed, "come on. Give me your bag",
"What? Oh..yeah sure. Here", Hyunjin took the hand from Jisung and escorted him out but he walked 12 centimetres from him. Hyunjin stopped walking, he turned back to see Jisung who also halted. "I'm not going to eat you, you know?"
"Is it that hard to accept that I love you?",
A small gasp left Jisung's mouth before he strode to Hyunjin, "why would you say that out loud?"
"Why? You ashamed?", Jisung slapped Hyunjin's head. "Are you dumb? I don't care about me! But you know not everyone is accepting of LGBT. What if they curse at you?!", He was very much worried about Hyunjin. He was an athlete who wished to be in the nation team, his public image was important. Not many people here was as accepting as the newer generations.
Hyunjin stared at Jisung's leg as the shorter continued to scold him. He felt regret again. It could have been him who carried Jisung and helped him back then but he hesitated. Jisung gradually stopped talking when he noticed Hyunjin wasn't saying anything back. He looked at the direction Hyunjin was looking at and saw his casted leg. He pressed his lips to a thin line. "I'm fine. I'm not in pain. You don't have to worry"
"Let's go. Chan hyung is waiting for us", Jisung told him, hoping a bit to the entrance. Hyunjin smiled adoringly at Jisung. He felt like he should be completely honest with Jisung this time. No more being a coward. He had already been honest with his feeling to Jisung, what was there more to be scared of?
He was ready for everything. Even for rejection.
-
